geography

Neighboring areas

The Zossen district bordered the West Berlin districts of Steglitz and Tempelhof in the north, the Königs Wusterhausen district in the east, the Luckau district in the south and the Luckenwalde and Potsdam-Land districts in the west .

history

On July 25, 1952, there was a comprehensive administrative reform in the GDR , in which, among other things, the states lost their importance and new districts were formed. The new Zossen district with its headquarters in Zossen was formed from parts of the Luckenwalde and Teltow districts at that time . The district was assigned to the new district of Potsdam .

The headquarters of the high command of the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany was located in Wünsdorf .

On May 17, 1990, the district was renamed Landkreis. On the occasion of the reunification of the two German states, the district of Zossen was awarded to the re-established state of Brandenburg in 1990. During the district reform in Brandenburg , which came into force on December 6, 1993, it was almost completely absorbed in the new Teltow-Fläming district . Only the municipality of Telz came to the Dahme-Spreewald district .
